Therefore, thearea in question and use limitation requests are not relevant to the operations of the building.Further, the State Beach General Plan Amendment does not propose any changes in use, whichare germane to the operations of the Hyperion hang gliding facility. This is acknowledged in thesubsequent paragraph of the comment letter."
